Fairfield, CT, September 2009
- Bigelow® Tea is introducing an exciting line of
innovative herbal teas to the market. These products are formulated
with healthy herbs and nutrients such as Probiotics, Omega 3, and
vitamins. Bigelow has created a truly unique, flavorful line of
teas that now add additional health benefits to each cup. The
introduction of these teas combines the delicious taste experience
that Bigelow is known for "plus" revolutionary nutritional benefits
for hot beverage products.
The new line of four delicious and
unique flavors include
Pomegranate Blueberry Herb Plus,
Cranberry & Ginseng Herb Plus,
Wild Blueberry Acai Herb Plus
and
Lemon Ginger Herb Plus.
"We created this new product line to be
naturally flavorful and delicious, while providing important health
benefits," says Cindi Bigelow, President of Bigelow Tea. "Our
research and development team was brilliant in selecting
ingredients that are rich in flavor and nutritional properties. We
know there has been much recent interest in the health benefits of
green and black teas, but we felt it important to also include the
awareness about the value of herbal teas. Herbal teas have been
used for centuries to help improve overall health. To make them
ever more powerful and to appeal to a more health conscious
consumer, we've included additional important nutrients to our new
Herb Plus line."
Lemon Ginger Herb
Plus
Aids the digestion with a soothing and enjoyable combination
of lemon and ginger. The blend is fortified with the Probiotic
GanedenBC30® to help support a healthy digestive system.
Probiotics are live, beneficial microorganisms that are important
in maintaining a balance of healthy vs. harmful bacteria in the
digestive tract. In its search for the ideal Probiotic, Bigelow
chose GanedenBC30 (pronounced "Gone Eiden, B-C-30") because unlike
traditional probiotics, GanedenBC30 is able to withstand the heat
needed to brew tea and survive harsh stomach acids to reach the
intestines - the goal for any Probiotic. With its blended flavors
of lemon and ginger, both known for their digestive properties,
we've added lemon grass, lemon verbena, lemon peel, rosehips and a
hint of cinnamon to make Lemon Ginger Herb Plus tea a simple,
delicious way to enjoy better digestive health.
Pomegranate Blueberry Herb Plus
Supports heart health. It is a delectable way to get a dose
of heart healthy Omega 3 DHA and the antioxidant benefits of
Vitamin C. Bigelow's talented development staff added these
nutrients to a berry rich blend of blueberry, pomegranate and sweet
blackberry leaves, combined with Rooibos, wolfberry (Goji) leaves
and hibiscus.
Cranberry & Ginseng Herb Plus
Supports a healthy memory with a tantalizing, tangy blend of
herbs that combines Choline and a combination of B Vitamins.
Choline is important in brain development and is a required
nutrient in infant formulas in the U.S. Choline also has a
synergistic effect when added to B Vitamins. Cranberry has
wonderful antioxidant properties and ginseng is an age-old herb
which is believed to help to reduce stress, improve memory and help
support better physical performance.
Wild Blueberry Acai Herb
Plus
Is a delicious, healthy drink filled with nutrients that can
help the immune system. Vitamins A and C add antioxidant value to a
hearty blend of wild blueberry, hibiscus, rosehips and grape seed
extract. With a subtle cinnamon note added to the flavor profile,
this tea is as refreshing as it is good for you.
